The staffs friendliness!!! All three of the people behind the desk were awesome! The lady went above and beyond to help me even to the point of making sure I had a cab waiting EARLY the next morning to get me to the port. There was a gentleman that took his time writing down instructions on a map to make sure I got to and from the downtown center!!! I personally want to thank the staff/owners of the Shipwreck guesthouse! I’m just sorry due to the earliness of my departure that I wasn’t able to thank them personally and say goodbye.

The bar and people were great. it is a real 'local' bar and not fancy but a great place if you like that kid of thing. Which i do. people smoking and drinking. To give you an idea of the crowd, one women fell off her barstool twice, the first time they stood her up, she managed another 30 min and half a drink. The second time they called her a cab. good bartenders, fun enough crowd if you sit there long enough to get to get in. As they say there, good craic.

Loved the staff. Thomas and Darren were so helpful and friendly. Easy to get to and from City centre.

The staff member who checked us in was very helpful. The bartenders that night were also helpful and humorous. The bar area of the establishment was charming in a rustic kind of way. The drinks aren't poured too deeply, however. The bathroom was clean and functional, but nothing more.

This is a great place to stay if you are visiting Dublin - fairly close to the city centre, and right by the River Liffey. It's not the height of luxury (it's a guesthouse above a bar) so not the place for a romantic weekend, but for good basic accommodation with a friendly welcome it would be hard to beat. Including the Shipwright itself, there are 4 pubs within fifty yards!

Convenient location near 3Arena stop of Dublin Airbus. We were spending one night in Dublin en transit back to the USA. A very "local" feeling neighborhood, especially in the pub downstairs of the rooms. Wifi worked well. Found a good restaurant (The Oarsman) nearby, as well as a Spar grocery store. Both are useful as the Shipwright only serves breakfast.

Location was excellent and was very easy to get to city centre, staff friendly/helpful, the locals of the pub were also friendly/helpful and the wifi was good.

The staff are all very nice and friendly. Wifi works best if you are near room 4, where it is located. It is located about a 25 minute walk into the heart of Dublin. The area is very safe, including the walk over. A convenience store is located right next door, plus a take-away place, and a couple pubs.

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).
